Any student can be referred to the OT. An assessment can be requested by education
or residential staff, other therapists or parents via the school's SENCO or OT Assistant.
The OT uses a variety of standardised assessment tools and non standardised clinical observations to determine student's motor, perceptual
and functional skills.
Following assessment, the OT may provide individual advice/therapy programmes/strategies to be implemented by school.
